The Longest Day/Shortest Night is here!

[Benjamin]

That means after today the days will start getting darker again. :sad:

[Stu]

You wouldn't believe how happy that makes me feel! The slow decent into Christmas has begun!

I'm loving it.

[King Gizzard]

It's still dark here and last week it was already light at this time..

[Stu]

Yeah it's weird how fast it changed. A week ago it seemed even brighter than the rest of the summers. I could have walked down the street at 4 in the morning and felt non the wiser. It was bizarre.

That Earthquake in Japan shifted the Earth's axis tilt by a small fraction...


I'm kidding by the way incase anyone thinks I'm a complete stupid guppy

[Locke.]

Thank god

[Stu]

I knew the clouds looked slightly off angle.

[Benjamin]

:laugh:

[Locke.]

Is that Zorro?

[Benjamin]

Is that Zorro?

No, it's Roland of Gilead (Roland Deschain), the mighty gunslinger from 'The Dark Tower'. :hugesmile:

[King Gizzard]

I plan to spend the longest day in bed

[Kerry]

I was surprised when the weather bloke said it earlier. Even though I've always know it's around about this time of year

Thank feckerty. Sun at 4am is getting annoying now. Nevermind the bastard cockrel squarking (how do you spell what??) that I USED to find so endearing........

[Shaun]

-doesn't like it getting light at 4am anyway-

[Shaun]

squawking :p

I'm pretty sure that is how you spell what. ;)

[Kerry]

squawking :p

Knew it had a 'w' somewhere :joker:

[Stu]

I'd love to not feel guilty about going to bed at 6 and waking up at 2 but I just can't do it. I can't stop the pattern but it makes me feel filthy.

[Kerry]

I'm pretty sure that is how you spell what. ;)

Cheeky bugger

[Shaun]

you think that's bad stu? over the past month I've managed 9am-5pm. Dolly Parton would slap me.

[lostalex]

Everyday gets shorter since you were born. It's called "the quickening".

Life begins as a tortoise and ends a cheetah. We are all in a race towards permanent darkness.

Time really does move faster the older you get though.

It can't be good long term. Melatonin release is triggered largely by darkness. It's a wank sleep.

I need to sort myself out but in this weird OCD way I feel depressed going to bed at normal people times. Especially with rays of sunshine like lostalex around.

It's like ending ... doing stuff. I'd rather stick around and do stuff instead of pack it in at 12am for a lie down.

[King Gizzard]

Bed at 8 up at 4

[Kerry]

Don't see why anyone should ever be bothered by their sleeping pattern

[Stu]

Don't see why anyone should ever be bothered by their sleeping pattern
It causes me to be unproductive. All I can do in the morning hours is watch stuff on telly with the volume down. If I was up at dawn I'd be a veritable Rocky montage and would have gotten a bit of guitar and piano in by noon instead of waking up in the evening, watching The Simpsons for four hours, then coming online all night.

[King Gizzard]

I just like being up when it's peaceful and the feeling that you're one of a few awake around you

Then love going to sleep when everyone else is up

[lostalex]

:)

I've always wondered, who would win in a race, a turtle or a tortoise?

I don't know why i'm asking you, you're obviously biased. :P

[Locke.]

Horrible having a sleeping pattern like mine because it is hard to sleep through the day when your neighbours are *****.

On one side they have about 20 kids, who bounce up and down on their trampoline screaming and shouting all day. Not exaggerating either, it is all day. From about 7am right through to about 9pm, with about an hour of silence in between.

And on the other side there are three puppys that bark all day.

[Stu]

Throw the puppies over into the kids back yard and let them sort each other out.

But no good beating yourself up about it really. Thats what I mean. Just makes it worse. I know cos I do the same. Stay awake at night as much as is humanly possible (for me) then waste the day. Then spend the rest thinking "I wasted the day again....." and so on. But have I? Nah. Just live it a different way.

Yup, I'd like to change stuff. But I'll never stop being a nightowl.

.... Can't remove these twatting fangs...........

Oh I'm definately wasting my days. Well ... summer days. I'll be fine once I go back to Uni.


I'm liable to go crazy and do stupid things if I don't have somewhere to be.

Used to have neighbours from hell here. Grandkids over every single day and every single night. When they moved out I think I slept for days

Is that September?

[Stu]

Yeah. Wake me up when it starts.

[Kerry]

Yeah. Wake me up when it starts.

*Has Green Day moment - well, sorta*

Otherwise, you'll be late...

[Stu]

Oh I hate Green Day moments. Just the worst.

[King Gizzard]

Don't get me started on my hate of Green day

[Kerry]

Same here. Absolutely sod all to bother you at night. No phone. No knocks. No post - nothing

[Kerry]

*Hides*

[Stu]

Snivelling, generic little teen fantasy wangs convincing teens they are political with songs that all sound the exact same only with the chords in a different order.

Down with Bush man!

Yeah? **** you in the ear Billy Joel Armstrong. You squeaky tie wearing ****.

[Kerry]

*Hides better*

[lostalex]

Kerry, is that Shirley Manson in your avatar?

[Kerry]

Kerry, is that Shirley Manson in your avatar?

Who's that?

No, it's um... me

[Stu]

You know what we should do? Put Coldplay and Green Day in a pit armed with nothing but their guitar strings and enough food for one.

And poison the food, too.

[King Gizzard]

I know it's hypocritical of me not to like them cause of his ****ty whiny voice when I like New Found Glory, but he really does have a ****ty whiny voice

[Kerry]

Googled her. No Alex, avatars me lol.

[Stu]

They have a DVD out entitled 'AWESOME AS ****!' [Green Day. Not Coldplay. But still ...].

I don't think I could hate them anymore if I tried.

[Chuck]

Kerry, is that Shirley Manson in your avatar?

Who's that?

No, it's um... me

:laugh3:

[Kerry]

:laugh3:

It's really a bloke isn't it? This Shirley?

[Chuck]

No, she is the singer of the band Garbage. She's gorgeous <3

[Kerry]

No, she is the singer of the band Garbage. She's gorgeous <3

Oh. Thought it was some Marylin Manson joke :blush:

[lostalex]

Googled her. No Alex, avatars me lol.

Oh well i love Garbage and Shirley Manson. You have her eyes, and i think she's gorgeous.

[lostalex]

No, she is the singer of the band Garbage. She's gorgeous <3


yes she is, and Garbage is awesome.

[Kerry]

Oh well i love Garbage and Shirley Manson. You have her eyes, and i think she's gorgeous.

:)

Thought you were taking the piss, sorry

I'd never heard of her. Thought it was a Marylin Manson connection

She's a badass. She kicks Gwen Stefani's ass when it comes to 90's rocker chicks.

Brody Dalle kicks every rock chick's ass

[Chuck]

-googles Brody Dalle-

[Chuck]

-downloads The Distillers-

[Kerry]

Doesn't look too light. I love rainy mornings........ darker!

Up at 7 again but I believe I get the chance to head back for a bit!

[Locke.]

It is like daytime outside now :(

[lostalex]

i wish i could download food. Cooking is a pain in the ass and ordering out sucks cause every time i order food, i'm not hungry anymore by the time it arrives.

i hate food. But i really wanna eat it right now. WTF, why don't we have food pills yet? is it not the year 2011?

[King Gizzard]

You could be on to a great new business venture there...whizzkids will come up with it eventually

Even if it's USB kitchen appliances

[Kerry]

Shop in advance - it's the future

[Kerry]

Or use the microwave or oven. If you don't fancy what you ordered, lob it in there for 5 mins when you do :)

[King Gizzard]

Did you have a nice 8 minute sleep Jaye?

[lostalex]

Microwave is the best, but i always run out of Hot Pockets after 2 days.

They should make like Hot Pockets that have vegetables and full nutrition and stuff. That would be the best.

i could live on Hot Pockets.

[Kerry]

Reight, I'm offski

Enjoy (hate) the long day :D

xxxx

[Chuck]

Night Kerry :love:

[Kerry]

Did you have a nice 8 minute sleep Jaye?

Jaye? A while since I've been called that.

[Marc]

People singing and dancing at SH are lame!

I like dark nights. I went to bed the other day and it was still sunny out!

[Shaun]

if we could have the warmth of summer nights with the darkness of winter, that'd be lovely, but nooooo

[Mac Hiavellian]

This actually made me depressed yesterday. I hate winter and I live for summer but I've found myself actually singing Xmas songs to myself and it's not right!

[CharlieO]

How can this be, summer is like july and august its not winter yet ?

[arista]

That means after today the days will start getting darker again. :sad:


only in mins

[Benjamin]

I've always wondered, who would win in a race, a turtle or a tortoise?

I don't know why i'm asking you, you're obviously biased. :P

:laugh:


I would win. I'd turn the tortoise upside down on his shell. :hugesmile:

[Livia]

How can this be, summer is like july and august its not winter yet ?

It's the summer solstice. The winter solstice is on 21st December, but the coldest months of the winter are frequently January and February. Don't worry, there's loads of summer to come. Well, I hope so anyway.

[Kerry]

Well, that was it. Darker days now


.... first to spot a Christmas card..........

[Benjamin]

:bawling:

[Chuck]

Winter began today, guess what? 27 degrees. :bored:

[Kerry]

I love sunshine but HATE heat. So sunny mild days would be lovely :D

[Chuck]

Ikr :bored: Heat is awful
